well its arrived, and ready to break. just drove it back from reading with no issues other than the vtec doesn't kick in until 5k ? is that normal for a 5th? but everything is fine. m2b4 lsd box, paddle clutch, lightened flywheel, bilstein coilovers,all polybushed suspension, civic type r wheels with a few new tyres on, front and rear strut braces,some absolutely gorgeous projector headlights, grey leather that doesn't look to good in the dark let alone the light, and some rather attractive switches that all light up blue. drives like it just left the showroom but they all do that but doesnt seem to have the oommph that the pickup has. maybe its because its a fat muffin but happy days. if anybody is after anything off it just let me know and i'll take a look if its any good. taxed till end of feb so im reluctant to break it really but something has to pay for my kids xmas so once its stripped i'll take some photos of the bits and get them posted up. think i might change my name to 5thgenphil

VTEC crossover on all Ludes is 5200k.

Grey leather.

Vtec crossover varies between models from 5k to 5.5k. There seems to be no science as to what has what.

nope definately comes in at 4500 on mine and a lot more agressive too, pickup feels much quicker than this even in auto form.maybe i'll line the pair up tomorrow when alex comes down

Pick has more power and should be easier to launch being an auto and is also about 100kgs lighter. Can see what difference an extra 45bhp in a 5g can do too

Sadly Edd who I bought this off has written off its replacement on his way home from reading where I met him. S2000 rip.

I might well be interested in the projector headlights, depending how much you want for them.
